Document Version Notes

PQR Revision Notes:
Revision 4 of this PQR is due to changing the company name and minor clerical changes.
Revision 3 of this PQR is due to a change of document formatting and to reflect the changed parent company name.
The immediate predecessor document is: Washington Group International, PQR CS-316, Rev. 2, dated 10-19-2000
None of the essential, supplementary essential, or non-essential variable values have been changed from the source
documents, except to reflect relevant Code changes and where errors of calculation, description, or transcription are
identified.
None of the test data have been changed from the source documents. The tensile results may calculate differently
depending on person or machine applied rounding practice.
This revision includes updating through ASME Sect. IX 2010 Edition.

Certification
We the undersigned certify that the statements and data in this record are correct and that test welds were prepared
and tested in accordance with the requirements of Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
